Club EQ Album: December 2003 Challenge: Round Quilts! Page 3

Design a round quilt. You can use motifs and the virtual border technique (delete a border that has a motif covering it) to get a round outline for the quilt without having the square default quilt outline.

Enid Newberg Floating along enewberg @ hotmail.com	Ethel Mecklem Mecklem Tree Skirt 2 dmecklem @ charter.net I used Wreathmaker to design this tree skirt. I used the triangle shape and edited it to curve both the outer and inner circles. I then used wreathmaker with 6 for the number of clusters. I then individually moved and edited each motif to align with the others and smoother the inner completed circle. I then removed the block outline making it a motif. On the quilt worktable I used a 1 inch horizontal square with a 1 inch border. I set the wreathmaker motif on top of the quilt and deleted the first and only border. I then added motifs from the EQ library and sized and rotated them on the treeskirt. This was great experience with Wreathmaker.

Ingrid Jensen Tablecloth Fantasi Drawed in Patchdraw and used wreatmaker for the inner circle and replaced the top and bottum shape with two others like the ones in the band. cozie @ mail.dk	Ingrid Jensen Starry Night in December A motifs from the library is the surrounding "border " of winterflowers. Inside a circle with motifs of a starry night. In december the days from 22. again increase a little every day ,untill the really dark nights are gone in Spring. cozie @ mail.dk	Jacquelyn J. Happy Holidays to All EQ Club Victoria, British Columbia, Canada I have to admit, I just didn't get how to do the round quilt, and came up with this work around and rather liked it. Mary, on the EQ newsletter, sent instructions that I finally understood on making the round quilt but I still liked the wreath, so here it is.	Jan N Insert Your Cat Here There are always cats on my quilts ... usually on Layer 4 ;-)

Jean J Starflake riverhold @ tiscali.co.uk I found this really difficult and I'm not sure how I got here. I started trying to draw a snow flake but ended up with stars as well - hence the name. JeanJ	Jean Tate Lily Pad Alamo, TX GJTate321 @ aol.com Drew the border for the round quilt, then added the Lily Pad block to the center.

Thanks to all that answered questions on our list... This 40" circle quilt is far from perfect, but if sewn out could be a table topper.	Judy Zaspel Folk Art Round Quilt Judy Zaspel in Minnesota

I could not get the sides even. Perhaps after I take the Tracing Class at Quilt University, I will try it again. I made this quilt creating it in patch draw as one block and then changing it to a motif.	Kathy Johnson Whirlwind Alexander, ND quilted @ ruggedwest.com This quilt could be done with wool and blanket stitch applique so the outside edge is like the penny rugs.

Laurie Hopman Sunflower This was a tough challenge for me, and this is the best I came up with yet. Lots of fun, with a lot of side trips along the way.

Lynn Chinnis Out of My Comfort Colors lchinnis @ verizon.net A lot of the challenge was finding a setting which did not lookawkwardly cut off when the circle was added. I did a lot of playing with various layouts in the layout library.	Lynn Chinnis Purple Haze lchinnis @ verizon.net This should really be called "Hard to Get a Perfect Circle." At some point I realized that the right side was flattened; redid the motif for my second quilt. The "challenge" seemed to be getting the circle right.	Leigh Harris Flying Around Perth, Western Australia bearleigh @ bigpond.com It's not much, but it took a lot of frustration to come up with it!	Linda Dawson Round Quilt St Petersburg, Florida fiberart @ tampabay.rr.com I thank Barb for this one. It was a real mind stretcher. I worked with many diffeent blocks trying to draw them for a motif, but just couldn't get a good one, so I took the easy way out and used some of the motif blocks that came with the program.
